How can I fix order of numbered songs (compilation)?

Hi there,
How can I get a series of mp3 files to line up and play in numerical order on my ipod? They are in the correct order on iTunes on my computer. Further details:
1) All 10 files have the same song name, followed by their respective numbers. For example:
XX 01
XX 02
XX 03
XX 04
and so on up to XX 10
2) On the Info tab, their respective track numbers are listed:
Track 1 of 10
Track 2 of 10
and so on up to Track 10 of 10
3) "Part of compilation" is ticked for all of them.
The problem is that the list on my ipod starts with Track 3-10, and the tracks play in this order, one after the other, 3 through 10.
Next on the ipod list come Tracks 1 and 2, and these two play in this order.
I want them to be listed from Track 1 to Track 10 and to play one after the other in that order.
Thanks!

Hi,
Thanks! I'll follow your link.
"I would have guessed at disc no. as being part of the problem as the iPod has always seemed to ignore the Album Artist field in my experience."
The Album Artist field messed up the order of another compliation on my ipod too (just noticed this morning), so it is a factor.
Originally, I had included the Album Artist with some songs in the compilation but not with others; the order appeared out of sequence, listing those that included an Album Artist first (and in sequential order for the relevant chapter numbers). When I deleted the Album Artist from them all, the order appeared in sequence for all chapters. I'll pay more attention to this in future.

How can I fix my page numbering problem?

I am creating a catalog in InDesign. Master pages were set up so the left and right pages had the page numbers in the lower outside corners.
Today I moved some pages around, and as a result the left side pages are now right side, and vice versa.
The problem I am facing is that on some of the pages, the page number is now in the inside corner, and on some of the pages, the page numbers are on both the inside and outside corners. The numbering is correct, but the positions are wrong.
I tried:
1. Overwriting all master page items for the page, then trying to delete or move the page number, but there is a faint yellow box around the number and it cannot be deleted or removed.
2. Applying the correct master page to the page I am trying to fix; this works in some cases, but in others it just places the new text boxes on top of the old ones.
Any help would be appreciated! I am using CS6 on a Mac. My master pages include a text box at the top, a blank box to show the page with bleed, and a page number indicator.

After I resist the temptation to ask why you're transcoding to ProRes in mid-stream, all I can come up with is:
Need more info on the error circumstances
OR
You could batch the source clips in Compressor and start over
OR
Try smaller batches
OR
Trash your prefs, repair permissions, and try again

Skipping songs
The iPod seems to fail to play all of the occasional track that iTunes, and indeed other PMPs, are happy to play. There is probably some minor technical error in the internal structure of the file which is normally ignored by other playback software but causes the Classic to bail out.
If you use Windows you may like to try scanning the files with MP3Validator which can find & fix some internal MP3 errors.
Some users have also suggested that completely removing all id3 tags and then replacing the information can be a solution. This can be achieved in iTunes by selecting an affected track, right/control clicking and using the option Convert id3 tags> None. Since some files may mistakenly have more than one tag you may need to repeat this action. Once you have confirmed that no tag is present you can replace the tag information using Convert id3 tags > V2.3 (I believe it is recommended to avoid using V2.4).
Personally I have found files for which these solutions don't work. In this case the workaround is either to re-rip the tracks or get iTunes to re-encode the file, e.g.convert AAC to MP3 or vice versa and sync the newly encoded file to the iPod instead. Because transcoding will cause a loss of fidelity you should keep your original file so that if a future iPod firmware resolves this issue you can put your original files back onto the iPod.

When I burn a disk from my playlist the songs are out of order. How can I fix this? Thanks!

I'm not 100% sure but I think you create your play order manually then select the playlist, right click it (or use ctrl+click) & select "Copy to play order".
I think when you burn that playlist it should obey that order, it has been so long since I made a mix CD that I'm not certain, good luck.

Match is ordering songs in playlists alphabetically rather than by track number. how can I fix this?

I've set my iPhone to use iTunes Match, but it is ordering songs in playlists alphabetically rather than by track number. And there isn't an oedering system on the iPhone, so I have to do it by hand. how can I fix this?

Sad to see that people have been complaining about this since last year (although not many seem to care, which is odd). For classical music listeners it is a total slap in the face.

My music on the iPod touch 4g isn't sorted out by little sections anymore. For example songs with the letter A and then there will be a marker for all A lettered songs, but my ipod does not do that to all of my music. How can i fix this?

My music on itunes doesn't have the markers anymore, how can i fix this?
So my songs should be listed like this:
A
Advice
B
Bang
C
Chinter's will
K
KannaZuki No Miko
L
Lights

The reason the alphabetical sections aren't showing is because you don't have enough songs. In order for them to show, you have to have a certain number of songs. ( I think it's 40 ).

Music cd's entered into itunes for copy are in a different tack order than the cd itself; how can i fix this

When I submit a music disc to be copied into my iTunes library, the order of the tracks is scrambled. How can I fix this so that the album track order in my library matches that of the cd itself?

Click the heading above the left most column of numbers.
Regardless of the order displayed during the rip the tracks should be correctly sorted when the library is sorted by Album, Album by Artist or Album by Artist/Year. Sorting on any other column will give different results. See Grouping tracks into albums for details.

You can sort your library by adding a Sorting info in the File Info. Select a file in iTunes U, press cmd + i, choose Sorting Tab. For example add a Sort Name. For each file you have to put a value into that field, I did it with 01, 02, 03 .. 12. I do not know if this works if you select multiple files, but I did not try.
The next time you sync your device, your files will be in order. It' ve tested it on an iPad2.
If you ask me, there must be a better solution for that problem as the files have a track number saved in the info as well, and it is quite annoying to add the sorting order manually.

I put songs onto my IPhone 4, and they show up under the "On This Phone" section in itunes, but when I go to play the songs on my phone, they aren't there. How can I fix this?

When you look at your iPhone, are you looking in the Music app or in the iTunes app? Be sure you are looking in the Music app, and look in the Songs category. If your songs are not here, you may want to try syncing your information again through iTunes. To do this, uncheck "Sync Music" and then click apply or sync in the bottom right corner of iTunes, and then recheck "Sync Music" and then click apply or sync again.
I hope this helps!

Looking forward to hearing from somebody with a littlemore expertise than me, Chris

you can remove preferences files by navigating to the Preferences folder for your user as follows:
0) Quit ALL iWork apps (Keynote, Pages and Numbers)
1) from the Finder select the menu item "Go > Go To Folder…". This will bring up a dialog:
2) enter the path "~/Library/Preferences" (no double quotes)
3) find the files:
com.apple.iWork.Keynote.plist
com.apple.iWork.Numbers.plist
com.apple.iWork.Pages.plist
and move these to the trash. I would NOT empty until later.
4) restart Numbers

I uploaded the giftcard money to my itunes account. and now when i try and buy a song it keeps saying that it has to charge my card. why wont it let me use the giftcard money? how can i fix this?

i put money to my itunes account. and now when i try and buy a song it keeps saying that it has to charge my card. why wont it let me use the giftcard money? how can i fix this?

If you still have your old card listed on your account then try selecting the 'none' option and remove it and then try entering the card's details from scratch. If that doesn't work then what is the full error message that you are getting, and the card is registered to the same name and address (including format and spacing) that you have on your iTunes account ?
